Securing Your Linux Server

This presentation will cover securing your Linux server from several directions. We'll cover:

• The initial build of your server to exclude any code which lends itself to allowing unauthorized access;
• Disabling unnecessary services;
• Securing some common services like Sendmail, OpenSSH and Apache;
• Securing networking with iptables and hosts_access;
• Setting up secure account policies like password expiration and password complexity; and
• Scanning your systems to check for vulnerabilities.

Clustering with Linux

This presentation will cover clustering with Linux from two perspectives:

• Application high availability and failover; and
• Filesystem clustering.

This session provides a demonstration of the emerging Shared Storage technology delivered by Red Hat Cluster Suite and Red Hat Global File System™ (GFS). This session will provide a demonstration of setting up highly available NFS using Red Hat Cluster Suite with a Global File System™ backend.
